Windows 7: BSOD (Again)

I guess I'll post again when I next have a problem. Thanks to all of you who've helped up to now. It's been really good having someone who knows what they're doing telling what to do/where to look and trying to get this sorted out. Thanks again guys.

Yes, it is another bugcheck 116 blaming atimpag.sys. All of your drivers look to be up to date. I do not see anything that I suspect causing conflict. And your RAM and video card test out fine. I will recommend one more hardware test. Run Prime95 to test both your hardware and RAM. Follow the instructions carefully in this tutorial: https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html. Run 3 separate tests, one on each of the settings (Blend, Small FFTs, Large FFTs). Post back with your results.

Hey all, I haven't had the chance to run the hardware tests yet (my research supervisor has really been kicking my ass to get some serious amounts of stuff done) but I have a had a couple more problems. They are all still display driver related.

I have had several screen crashes and then the computer refreshes and I get a message saying that the ATI display drivers crashed but recovered. I haven't had a BSOD as a result of this. Do you think I might have a faulty driver install and that I should try reinstalling the drivers when I get the chance? I wanted to mention this as I wasn't sure if it would give us a clue as to the source of the problem?

Alex, I had similar problems with an nVida graphics card. I solved by experimenting with various drivers until I found the ones that worked. They were not the latest; they were third or fourth down the list.

Finally getting round to running Prime95 tests. I also reinstalled my ATI drivers. I haven't had a BSOD since I last reported one (a week or so back) but have had a fair few driver crashes which have managed to recover - all ATI driver related, this is even with the new install of drivers.

Small fft & large fft tests with prime95 both ran fine and gave no errors. The blend test is currently running and so far, so good. Core temps have been below 60oC in all tests. Does this mean that I'm most likely looking at a software issue rather than hardware? I would assume it's the ATI drivers as this is what's been throwing the errors every time (display driver related usually).
